Trends

"Smith was traded to the Steelers in June following a career year in Miami in which he finished top 5 among tight ends in targets, receptions, yards, fantasy points and touchdowns. This after never finishing better than 15th in the former four categories during his first seven NFL seasons. Smith's season actually started slowly (4.9 targets per game and one game with 12-plus fantasy points during Weeks 1-10), but he averaged 8.5 targets and a position-high 18.6 PPG from Week 11 on. Smith is now reunited with Arthur Smith, which isn't necisarily a good thing, as averaged single-digit fantay points during three prior seasons with Smith calling the plays. Pittsburgh is shaky at wideout, so Smith will play plenty, but his target ceiling is much lower with Pat Freiermuth also in the mix. Smith is best valued as a mid-to-back-end TE2."

"Smith had totaled just four receiving yards over his last two appearances, but he bounced back slightly in Week 12. He matched his season-high mark in yards from scrimmage but continues to split work with fellow tight ends Darnell Washington and Pat Freiermuth, which limits all of their fantasy upside."

	Jonnu Smith's target share has decreased by 52.36% over the past 6 weeks.
	Jonnu Smith's receiving yards have decreased by 53.97% over the past 6 weeks.
	Jonnu Smith's receptions have decreased by 50.0% over the past 6 weeks.
	Jonnu Smith's targets have decreased by 57.53% over the past 18 weeks.
	Jonnu Smith's receiving touchdowns have decreased by 75.0% over the past 14 weeks.

Trends

"Waddle enters his fifth NFL season after a somewhat inexplicable down year in 2024. Granted, he wasn't fully healthy at times (and missed two games), but Waddle's target share dipped from 20%-plus during his first three seasons to 16% last season (56th among WRs). He posted career-low marks in every key category and ranked 52nd in fantasy PPG after finishing 21st or better in each of his first three seasons. Same as Tyreek Hill, Waddle seemingly suffered from Miami facing two-high safeties at a league-high rate, and with both back for 2025, we may see more of the same. Waddle has the talent to allow a bounce-back campaign (especially with Hill entering his age-31 season), but he can't be trusted as more than a WR3."

"Waddle's yardage total wasn't anything to write home about, but it was good enough to lead the Dolphins on a day when Tua Tagovailoa threw for only 171 yards. Waddle also paced Miami in targets and contributed a game-long 31-yard grab, and he's now eclipsed 50 receiving yards in six of the last seven games overall, including four straight. Waddle will next take aim at the Saints secondary in a Week 13 home matchup on Sunday, Nov. 30 following a Week 12 bye."

	Jaylen Waddle's receiving yards have increased by 111.79% over the past 12 weeks.
	Jaylen Waddle's target share has increased by 25.6% over the past 6 weeks.
	Jaylen Waddle's receiving touchdowns have increased by 100.0% over the past 6 weeks.
	Jaylen Waddle's targets have increased by 26.47% over the past 12 weeks.
	Jaylen Waddle's receptions have increased by 23.08% over the past 6 weeks.
